How I create a hand-printed look in Procreate

Create layered block-print stamps in Procreate
Hello!
If you enjoy the look of traditional block printing, I've put together a new tutorial showing how I create layered digital stamps in Procreate using my Cottage Press brushes.
Rather than making a single stamp, I build up separate layers of printed texture, carved details and slightly imperfect edges. These can then be stamped in different colours and overlapped to create that lovely hand-printed look.
There's also a useful Master Stamp shortcut. Once you've set up a stamp brush the way you like it, you can duplicate it and replace the artwork without having to start from scratch each time.

The blog includes the settings I use, along with the full video demonstration, so you can follow the process and have a go at creating your own layered stamps.
If you'd rather watch the process directly, you can also find the tutorial on YouTube.
I hope it gives you a few ideas for making your own layered stamps and experimenting with different colours and printed textures.
Happy creating!
Best wishes, Dawn
P.S. New Procreate stamps! 🕊️
I’ve also added my new layered dove stamps to the Patternologie shop. Choose from single or mirrored flying doves, along with coordinating sprigs and foliage to build your own patterns.
